S8/E34: Martfotai - The Threshold - Life...

Russell A. Smith
About this episode

⁠This episode⁠ of Martfotai: Gurdjieff and the Fourth Way closes Arc VI and Season Two. A friend asks over tea what has changed, and every answer comes out the wrong size. The one that fits points at behaviour, where other people can check it.

The threshold is examined through two old images, the two rivers and the stairway, alongside opposition that may be exhausted, the feeling of I changing source, and knowing held lightly. The season is looked back on in full, with a first look at Season Three. The practice closes the episode: one question, one admission, one plain answer.

The practice, in full, is part of Path 1: free to join, and built to be used, not just listened to. Path 1 also opens the weekly newsletter, the growing library of foundation practice packs essays and tools, and full episode transcripts. Start at ⁠martfotai.com/membership⁠.
